Arent COOK|NGfSTCVEI -m SPECIFICATION forming partof Letters Patent No.558,626, dated April 21, 1896. Application filed April 13,1894. SerialNo. 507,352. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, FnnnnRicK WILL, of Rochester, in thecounty of Monroeand State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Cooking-Stoves; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description of the same, ref` erence being had to theaccompanying drawings, forminga part of this specification, and to thereference-numerals marked thereon.

My present invention relates to cooking stoves or ranges, and has forits object particularly to improve the construction and arrangement ofthe iiues, whereby the oven will be evenly heated, and also in thearrangement of dampers for governing and controlling the heated air andproducts of combustion, all a-s will be hereinafter fully described, andthe novel features pointed out particularly in the claims at the end ofthis specification.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a longitudinal sectional viewof a stove provided with my improvements; Fig. 2, a sectional view onthe line so .r of Fig, l; Fig. 3, a sectional view on the line y y ofFig. l; Fig. 4, a sectional view on the line e e of Figs. l and 2; Fig.5, a sectional view on the line e b of Fig. 2; Fig. G, a sectional viewon the line c d of Fig. et.

Similar referenee-numerals in the several figures indicate similarparts.

rlhe outer casin g l ofthe stove is constructed in the usual or anypreferred manner and is provided with the usual base 2.

3 indicates the fire-pot having a suitable grate, 4t the ash-pit, and 5the oven.

At the rear end of the stove is arranged a vertical smoke-Hue G,connecting with the smoke-pipe 7, said flue G communicating with theflue or space beneath the oven, as usual in this style of stove.Arranged above the oven, and preferably extending from near the tire-potto the diving-fine 8 at the end, is a partition or plate 9, connectedwith a plaire or partition l0, extending from the bottom of said oven tothe bottom of the diving-fine 8 and terminating at the bottom of thestove, and arranged in the broad fiue beneath the oven is adeI'lector-plate ll, extending from the rear of the stove at one side ofthe flue 6 to near the center of the oven, as shown in dotted lines inFig. t" and in full lines in Fig. 4:. l

rlhe usual direct-draft damper l2 is ein- 55 ployed in the rear of iue Gfor opening co1ninunication between the space above the oven and saidflue G when the direct draft is desired, as in starting afire, and whensaid damper is closed the products of combustion from 6o the fire-potwill divide, pass on each side oi' the central upper partition 9, downthe diving-iiue, and around into the vertical iue 6 at the rear of thestove, as shown particularly by the arrows in Figs. 3 and 4. rlhis 65arrangement will cause the oven to be evenly heated and will prevent theproducts from taking such a course as to heat one corner oi' the ovenunduly, leaving the other parts cool or indiiferently heated, as is thecase where 7o stoves with ordin ary sheet-fines are employed using onlya detlector, such as ll, at the bottom of the stove beneath the oven.

The direct-draft damper l2 may be mani pulated in any suitable manner;but l prefer to employ such an arrangement as is shown in Fig.(,in whichan arm 13 on the end of the damperis engaged by the end of the leverlehpivoted on a bracket l5, said lever being operated from the top ofthe stove by a vertically-mov- 8o able slide or pitman 1G, the operationof this arrangement of parts being shown in full and dotted lines insaid figure.

In order to provide a check-damper which will simultaneously opencommunication be` tween the smoke-pipe and the external air and closecommunication between the vertical flue G and the stove, I provide inthe front of the smol e-pipe, or preferably in a collar or castingattached to the top of the stove, 9o a sliding `damper 17, havingapertures 18 therein adapted to register with corresponding apertures 19in the pipe or collar, as shown, and upon the rear side of said slidingdamper I arrange a pin 20, cooperating with a damper 95 2l, pivoted ator near its center, but Weighted on the side opposite the pin, so thatsaid. damper will open by gravity to the position in dotted lines inFig. when the apertures in the slide and pipe are closed, but when theroo slide is moved to open said apertures the damper will be allowed toturn to a horizontal position, as shown in full lines, shutting oii thedraft to the smoke-pi pe. Instead of the means shown for causing thesimultaneous operation of these two dampers other means Will readilysuggest themselves to those skilled in the art.

l claim as my inventionl. lIn a cooking-stove, the combination with theoven, the fire-pot at o'ne end thereof; the broad fines at the top,- endand bottom of the oven,` the' partitions 9 and 10 in said top and endiues, the deiieetor ll in the bottom flue, the smoke-flue 6 opening intothe bottom iue at one side of the partition 1l, the aperture between thesmoke-Hue 6 and the top iiue and the damper 12 controlling it,substantially as described.

2. In a stove, the combination with the vregister with thosein thelatter, said sliding` damper engaging the damper 2l above its pivot,lwhereby When the sliding damper is open admitting air to the pipe abovethe pivoted damper, the latter Will close the {iue and vice versa,substantially as described.
